Most multimedia source coders exhibit unequal bit error sensitivity. Efficient transmission system design should therefore incorporate the use of matching unequal error protection (UEP). In this paper, we present and evaluate a flexible space-time coding system with unequal error protection. Multiple transmit and receive antennas and bit-interleaved coded modulation techniques are used combined with rate compatible punctured convolutional codes. A near optimum iterative receiver is employed with a multiple-in multiple-out inverse mapper and a MAP decoder as component decoders. We illustrate how the UEP system gain can be achieved either as a power or bandwidth gain compared to the equal error protection system (EEP) for the identical source and equal overall quality for both the UEP and EEP systems. An example with two/three transmit and two receive antennas using BPSK modulation is given for the block fading channel.

When channel state information (CSI) is available at the transmitter, the system throughput can be enhanced by adaptive transmissions and opportunistic multiuser scheduling. In this paper, we consider multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems employing bit-interleaved coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (BIC-OFDM). We first propose a bit-loading algorithm based on the Levin-Campello algorithm for the BIC-OFDM. Then we will apply this algorithm to the MIMO system with a finite set of constellations, by reassigning residual power on each stream Simulation results show that proposed bit-loading scheme which takes the residual power into account improves the system performance especially at high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) range.

We design multilevel coding(MLC) with a semi bit-interleaved coded modulation(BICM) scheme based on low density parity check(LDPC) codes. Different from traditional designs, we joint the MLC and BICM together by using the Gray mapping, which can transmit the multimedia data over several equivalent channels with different code rates. To get a good performance from signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) very close to the capacity of the additive white Gaussian noise(AWGN) channel, random regular LDPC code and a simple semi-algebra LDPC(SA-LDPC) code are discussed in MLC with parallel independent decoding(PID). Finally, the numerical results demonstrate that the proposed scheme could achieve both power and bandwidth efficiency for multimedia communication system.

In this paper, the performance of bit interleaved of coded and modulation(BICM) module of the second generation of digital terrestrial television broadcasting system(DVB-T2) is evaluated with the help of computer simulation. The frame error rate performance is studied in AWGN, Rayleigh fading and 15% erasure channels. In addition, iterative receiver is considered that exchanges extrinsic information between the rotated demapper and the LDPC decoder. Through the simulation it is observed that under the flat fading Rayleigh channel, about 1.2dB gain at FER of $10^{-4}$ is introduced when rotated constellation and iterative demapping and decoding are employed. Under the 15% earasure channel, rotated constellation gives performance gain of about 5dB at BER of $10^{-4}$ and when IDD is applied, additional performance gain of about 3dB can be achieved.

In this paper, design of quasi-cyclic(QC) low-density parity-check codes is proposed to have full diversity for space-time bit-interleaved coded modulation(ST-BICM) systems. Necessary and sufficient conditions that the proposed scheme has full diversity are proved as the condition that submatrices corresponding to the system part of codewords are invertible. And new construction method of binary invertible matrices for QC LDPC codes in ST-BICM systems are also proposed and modification for parity-check matrices are also explained.

In wireless access systems, there has been much interest in enhancing the performance of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing OFDM) in a frequency selective fading channel. If the channel is static and is perfectly known to both the transmitter and the receiver, the water-filling technique with adaptive modulation is known to be optimal. However, for OFDM systems, this requires intensive traffic overheads for reporting channel side information on all subcarriers to the transmitter In this paper, we propose an adaptive modulation and coding scheme for bit-interleaved coded OFDM (BIC-OFDM) for downlink packet transmissions with reduced feedback information. To minimize the feedback information, we employ a rate adaptation method based on the OFDM symbol rather than on each subcarrier. To illustrate the performance gap between the optimal water-filling and the proposed scheme, we will compare cutoff rates for both schemes. It is shown that the loss is less than 2dB while the proposed scheme significantly reduces the feedback payloads. Also, the OFDM system in multiuser environment with subcarrier grouping is considered. It is shown that by exploiting multiuser diversity the throughput of the proposed scheme approaches the channel outage capacity as the number of users and the number of subcarrier groups increase.

In multiple antenna systems, vertical Bell Labs Layered Space-Time (V-BLAST) systems enable very high throughput by nulling and cancelling at each layer detection. In this paper, we propose a V-BLAST system which combines with signal space diversity technique. The benefit of the signal space diversity is that we can obtain an additional gain without extra bandwidth and power expansion by applying inphase/quadrature interleaving and the constellation rotation. Through simulation results, it is shown that the performance of the proposed system is less than 0.5dB away from the ideal upper bound.
